The leader of Plaid Cymru, Ieuan Wyn Jones AM, has responded to the announcement of the Commission on Devolution in Wales:
“Plaid Cymru welcomes the establishment of the commission and looks forward to playing a full role in the work it will undertake. It is important that the commission plots a clear and ambitious course for Wales in both fiscal and constitutional matters.
“While it is now down to the current Welsh government to negotiate a fair funding deal for Wales in the short term, the commission must create a sustainable fiscal footing for our nation and increase the financial accountability of its democratically elected government. It must also be bold and ambitious as it looks at which areas of government should be matters for the Welsh people.
“Plaid Cymru will take a constructive and co-operative approach towards the work of the commission, which has the potential to play an historic role in the development of our nation.”
